Stamaty is an experienced comic strip writer and cartoonist, and he takes on the task — in comic book format — of expressing, for him and for the culture, the way Elvis shook up everything. Or, as Stamaty says, “the joy and power of early rock 'n' roll.” You know he's going to be spot-on when he begins by explaining what a great present it was, in 1955, to receive “my own radio for my own room.” His 8-year-old self, complete with Davy Crockett T-shirt, is beaming ear to ear. He explains how the first music he listened to had “gentle sounds” — “The Tennessee Waltz,” “Wayward Wind.” And then comes “Hound Dog” bursting onto the page in screaming yellow letters. His mother rethinks her gift of a radio. Stamaty fills in an important piece, that moment when a young guy began to think of getting a guitar, slicking his hair back, and just moving like that.
